The " Wanganui Herald" informs us that arrangements have been concluded for locating a body of Napier Military Settlers on land at the Whenuakura River. The "New York Herald" has not always been the fast friend of England, but iate events have wrought a wonderful change in its opinions. Let the following from a late number of the "Herald" bear witness : —" How completely the Treaty of Washington has changed the relations of Great Britain and America ! Recently how cold were those relations. Look at the acts of the last few days. How nobly our Government has gone to the rescue of England and saved her territories from what might have proved a serious Fenian invasion. How nobly the British Government has acted in the matter of the Chicago disaster! At the time the British Government was issuing instructions to the Government of the Dominion of Canada to offer to Chicago all the military tents and blankets in their possession, the Government of the United States was taking excellent care of General O'Neill. This is an intelligible kind of reciprocity. We owe it to the Washington Treaty. Let us have a little more of the same."
